Capital Advantage

The National Capital Region provides vast and varied resources and opportunities for students in Art and Architectural History.  From the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian Museum of History, Ingenium: Canada’s Museums of Science and Technology, the Art Bank, the National Capital Commission, Parks Canada and Library and Archives Canada to more locally oriented institutions, including the Ottawa Art Gallery, Ottawa Museum Network, and our own Carleton University Art Gallery, Art and Architectural History faculty build these collections and collaborative opportunities into the structure of their courses.

Many students benefit from working in these institutions for course credit through the practicum program at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The Ottawa area provides an inspiring background to learn about art, architecture, and design.
